King Nadab - Biography

Very little is known about the second king of the separate kingdom of Israel. He was the son of Jeroboam, the first king. He reigned about two years, carrying on the evil work begun by his father. He was murdered during a war with the Philistines by a man named Baasha, who then proclaimed himself king. Baasha also murdered all Nadab's relatives, who were naturally rivals for the throne, thereby fulfilling a prophecy against Jeroboam.
